KWD to PCT conversion is the process of transforming a file saved in the KWD document format into a PCT (picture/portable compound text) file, producing a PCT-compatible document or image-like container. This conversion rewraps or transcodes KWD content (text, layout and embedded graphics) into the PCT specification so it can be opened by applications that support the PCT format.
